Book SynopsisRue McClanahan, best known for her portrayal of Blanche Devereaux on the Emmy-award winning series The Golden Girls reveals her life in and out of the spotlight in a laugh-out-loud funny memoir about love, marriage, men, and getting older that is every bit as colorful as the characters she played. Raised in small-town Oklahoma in a house “thirteen telephone poles past the standpipe north of town,” Rue developed her two great passions—theater and men—at an early age. She arrived in New York City in 1957 with two-weeks worth of money in her pocket, hustled her way into a class with the legendary Uta Hagen, and began working her way up in the acting world against the vibrant, free-spirited backdrop of the sixties. That’s when she met and married Husband #1—a handsome rogue of an aspiring actor who quickly left her with a young son. Still, she was determined to make it on the stage and screen—and in the years that follo

Scarecrow Press Buffy Ballads and Bad Guys Who Sing
Book SynopsisWhen writer and director Joss Whedon created the character Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he could hardly have expected the resulting academic interest in his work. Yet almost six years after the end of Buffy on television, Buffy studiesand academic work on Whedon''s expanding oeuvrecontinue to grow. Now with three hugely popular television shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly, and the film Serenity all available on DVD, scholars are evaluating countless aspects of the Whedon universe (or Whedonverse). Buffy, Ballads, and Bad Guys Who Sing: Music in the Worlds of Joss Whedon studies the significant role that music plays in these works, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to the internet musical Dr. Horrible''s Sing-Along Blog.Kendra Preston Leonard has collected a varying selection of essays that explore music and sound in Joss Whedon''s works. The essays investigate both diegetic and non-diegetic music, considering music from various sources, including the shows'' original scores,Trade ReviewAnyone familiar with the cult television favorites created by writer Joss Whedon knows how important music is in his shows. The essays in this collection focus entirely on the music in Whedon’s television shows and web musical, analyzing the way music complements and enhances the narrative. Jacqueline Bach traces out various musical arcs over the course of Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s run, such as the way the music of Sarah McLachlan is used to reflect Buffy’s complex feelings about her friends and her relation to them in several pivotal instances. Elizabeth A. Clendinning’s chapter centers on the vampire Spike, revealing how, even though he was first introduced as a villain in Buffy, Spike’s musical knowledge and references link him much more closely with humanity than the other nemeses on the show. Stanley C. Pelkey’s essay explores the music of Whedon’s futuristic space western Firefly, which blends exotic Asian music with folk-country music meant to represent the characters’ personalities and stations in life. For the many fans devoted to Whedon’s work, this will be an enlightening read. * Booklist *Buffy, Ballads, and Bad Guys Who Sing makes a fine contribution to the still-young field of TV music scholarship. * American Music *

Rlpg/Galleys The Smallville Chronicles
Book SynopsisIn 2001, yet another adaptation of the Superman comic book came to television. Lasting 10 seasons, Smallville took the traditional Superman story and turned it into an American teen action drama about Clark Kent''s life at high schoolbefore he donned the famous blue tights and red cape. Instead of depicting Superman''s clashes with criminals in Metropolis, the show focused on how Clark first developed his powers and learned to cope with girls, school, and teenage angst. Although largely overlooked by critics and derided by Superman fans who regarded it as too far a departure from the comic book canon, Smallville nonetheless endeared a whole new generation of viewers. The setting, style, narrative, and cast of fresh-faced actors suggested that the Superman story was not only ready for a makeover but also still relevant for a post-9/11 American audience. In The Smallville Chronicles: Critical Essays on the Television Series, scholars examine the multiple narratives of the Smallville uni

In Jungle Fever, Charlotte Rogers goes deep into five books that first defined the jungle as a violent and maddening place.Trade Reviewa stunningly erudite and insightful critical and historical interdisciplinary analysis"" - Hispania""Jungle Fever takes us on a fascinating excursion into the colonial and postcolonial tropics where we find Conrad and Malraux in the company of Alejo Carpentier, Mario Vargas Llosa, Jorge Luis Borges, and Wilson Harris - with many surprises lurking along the way."" - Vera Kutzinski, author of Against the American Grain""Jungle Fever isolates, in the novelistic subgenre of the jungle book, a deep strand involving disease, which is at the source of its creative impulse, and where these adventure novels carry out a compelling critique of modern imperialism. Cutting across the English, Latin American, and French traditions this book is a model of the comparative approach."" - Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria, Sterling Professor of Hispanic and Comparative Literature, Yale University, and author of Myth and Archive
